If you are looking for a convocation photoshoot in Ibadan, we have good news: Tboss Photography is now offering 20% off convocation sessions.

Convocation is one of those days that passes quickly. There are the robes, the crowds, the handshakes and the long wait for your name to be called. A convocation photoshoot in Ibadan gives you something different: a calm hour or so to be photographed properly, in the gown you worked so hard to earn, with no rush and no strangers in the background.

To celebrate the season, we are announcing a 20% discount on convocation sessions at our studio. If you are a graduate, or the parent or sibling of one, this is a good moment to book.

What a graduation portrait session looks like

The images with this article come from one of our recent convocation sessions, and they show how we like to work. We begin with a classic studio portrait in smart clothing. Here that meant a navy pinstripe double-breasted suit, a burgundy tie and a matching pocket square, with a simple stool and a soft grey backdrop. It is a clean, confident portrait that works for a CV, a LinkedIn profile or a frame at home.

Then comes the gown. In the full-length portrait, the navy and red robe with its gold trim is the star, and the smile says everything. We leave room for you to relax, because the best graduation portraits are the ones where you look like yourself on a very good day.

We also like to photograph the gown on its own, hung beside you against a textured concrete-style wall. A small white "done!" sign sits at the foot of the stand, and it is a playful finishing touch that people love to share with family and friends.

Planning your convocation photoshoot in Ibadan

A little preparation makes the session easier and the photographs better. These are the things we suggest:

Bring your gown, and have it pressed beforehand so the colours and trim sit neatly. Wear or bring a well-fitted suit or outfit to wear underneath, since it will show at the collar and cuffs. Choose shoes you can stand comfortably in, and bring any small accessories you would like to feature, such as a watch or bracelet. Think about whether you want a serious portrait, a smiling one, or both, and tell us before we start so we can plan the poses.

It also helps to book early rather than waiting until the week of your ceremony, when diaries tend to fill up. Message us to ask about available dates and how to claim the 20% discount, and we will take you through the details.

Why a studio session is worth it

Photographs taken on the day itself are precious, but they are often crowded and hurried. A studio session gives you control over the light, the background and the pace. You come away with portraits you can print, frame and share with pride, and a record of a milestone that deserves more than a quick snapshot.

We are a female-led studio in Ibadan, Oyo State, led by Oluwatosin Aremu, and we aim to make every client feel at ease in front of the camera. If you have finished your studies, or are about to, we would love to help you mark it.
